SUMMARY

The proper notation for recursion in LaTeX requires attention to detail in syntax, particularly the use of forward slashes in closing tags. A common mistake is using a backslash instead of a forward slash in the closing itex tag, which prevents the formula from displaying correctly. This discussion highlights the importance of correct LaTeX notation to ensure proper typesetting of mathematical expressions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX syntax and structure
  • Familiarity with typesetting mathematical formulas in LaTeX
  • Knowledge of the itex environment in LaTeX
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for LaTeX errors
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX typesetting for recursion and advanced mathematical notation
  • Learn about the itex environment and its proper usage in LaTeX
  • Explore common LaTeX errors and their solutions
  • Practice writing and debugging LaTeX formulas for clarity and correctness
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers who utilize LaTeX for typesetting mathematical documents and anyone looking to improve their LaTeX skills for better presentation of recursive functions.

Okay, my first attempt at LaTex was terrible, and the post originally made in this space was undecipherable. I requestd this thread be deleted, and I'll be posting a proper (I hope) version in a separate thread.

Thanks for your patience.

How come only the first LaTex formula is showing up typeset? What am I doing wrong?
 
You need a forward slash in the closing itex tag, not a backslash.
 
LaTex notation experimentation - no other content, so don't pay any attention to this post.
